Popis: Ternary systems, such as alcohol. water, and sodium hydroxide, have been used in the pretreatment bath or have been added in fixed quantities to cotton prior to etherifi cation with benzyl chloride. Evidence has been obtained which supports an hypothesis that increased reagent solubility, coupled with control of the cellulose: sodacellulose equilibrium. can lead to essentially homogeneous cotton cellulose modifications. In addition, the experiments have resulted in the preparation of interesting fibrous cellulose ethers. These ethers retained many of the desirable mechanical properties of the original cotton and showed increases in elastic recovery, decreased permanent set, sub stantivity to disperse dyes, microbiological resistance, and a high degree of thermo plasticity.
